Extra-Inning Walk-Off Win for Lakers
Behind a solid performance from left fielder Vicente Valdéz, the Echo Park Lakers defeated the Sausalito Meatballs, 9-5. Valdéz was 2-7 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Lakers. Echo Park, at 52-71, sits in 7th place in the Anderson League Sabathia Division.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 13th. With one out, Valdéz hit a forkball from Rodney Sánchez for a grand slam home run. The Lakers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Valdéz said in his postgame press conference.
